en·vy (noun) - a feeling of discontented or resentful longing aroused by someone else's possessions, qualities, or luck.'Envy' is an emotion which "occurs when a person lacks another's superior quality, achievement, or possession and either desires it or wishes that the other lacked it". - That's what most of the websites describe it as. Why does envy have to be associated with the lack of something in ourselves, that is present in someone else & which we desire in ourselves? How many times have you felt envious of someone? Envious of that person who has that car? Or envious of the person who's married to the love of her life while you're single? Or envious of the person who has the best career in the world? The list is never ending, isn't it? Makes me wonder if we humans could spend the rest of our lives comparing & just pining for the things we don't have? Makes me think harder, why we so easily choose to look at the things we 'Don't Have' rather than the things we 'Have'. We need to learn to look at the brighter side even during the dullest days when envy grips you. We are human after all. And that is the beauty of being Human - to be able to have the lowest days & be able to pick ourselves up & rise no matter what. Envy can be a beautiful emotion, inspiring us in ways unknown rather than throw us off-board the positivity ship. Being envious of someone should motivate us to reach there & go even beyond. The Universe works wonders when it senses a positive soul. Trust me on this! Now, does 'Envy' look like a bad emotion to you? It sure doesn't to me! :)The collaboration with The Art Robe was a delight owing to their use of fabrics like chiffon, silks & raw silks with hand painted motifs! So much of effort into each piece! Check out their collection here. Featuring here is their green hand painted silk scarf which inspired my article - 'Envy'.

Working a full time job makes me neglect my blog at times but then again, it's my baby so I hope my readers & followers understand hehe! Btw, how have you'll been? Today I wanted to mention one of my favourite make up brand, Bobbi Brown!I recently used the Bobbi Brown : Havana Brights Collection and Boy! I Love It! It's bright & really tends to suit the Indian Brown tones. The collection is full of coral & peaches. The art stick lippies are brightly coloured & the cheek palette has some amazing golden & peach highlighters & blushes respectively.I used the Clementine Cheek Palette for the blush & cheek highlight along with the Art Stick Havana Coral on my lips.

One of the lesser known facts about Abu Dhabi is that apart from being the Capital of the United Arab Emirates, it also houses federal Government offices, is the seat of the UAE Government, home to the President of UAE & his Royal Emiri family. Abu Dhabi still remains the lesser known cousin of Dubai but there are a ton of things to do in Abu Dhabi & it's actually just as much fun as it's fancy cousin, Dubai! I put together a list of the Top 5 Things To Do in Abu Dhabi. Hope you enjoy them:1) Ferrari WorldThis world famous amusement park located on the man made, Yas Island is a complete tourist spot. With the largest space frame structure & the world's fastest roller coaster, the Formula Rossa, it sure is a hit with the tourists!

2) Sheikh Zayed Grand MosqueThis beauty draws most of the tourists that visit Abu Dhabi owing to its beautiful structure made from marbles from the different parts of the world & has four Minarets. Its the largest mosiac structure in the world is is such a peaceful spot! Be careful about your attire as they are strict about it but you can wear clothes that cover your arms, legs & head and you're good to go. Clearly I clicked the most of my pictures here! ;)

3) Bab Al Qasr Hotel & Emirates Palace HotelThe citizens of Abu Dhabi are considered to be wealthy and this is well reflected in the architecture all around the city. From tall rises to similar looking building modeled on the lines of the Louvre, Kuala Lumpur Towers etc are a must see!

4) Abu Dhabi Corniche & Heritage VillageCorniche is walkway on the beach front with the views of the sea as well as Abu Dhabi's skyline. Settle yourself on one of the benches & it's just fun to people-watch! Heritage Village is sort of like a museum where the traditional oasis village life of UAE has been recreated depicting the Bedouin lifestyle. Highly recommend the restaurant inside as the food was expensive but delicious!

5) Abu Dhabi Desert SafariOne thing you really cannot miss out on is the desert safari in Abu Dhabi. It's a fabulous experience. They have various traditional dance performances along with a buffet spread of local dishes. I didn't go for the safari in Abu Dhabi as I already did it in Dubai but I did visit it during sunset & the sight was breathtaking!

This marked the end of my trip to Abu Dhabi & it was such a lovely experience!

Working a 9-5 job & managing a blog simultaneously isn’t easy at
all! I struggle to keep up with the work in office & I struggle to keep up

Nothing of this would be possible without sheer love for the work I do, be it
blogging for brands or corporate communications for my company. There are times when you are challenged
being a woman & you just have to go out there & prove yourself, leaving
no stone unturned. I have always believed that being a woman was never a setback,
but only a blessing. We are beautiful. Beautiful in the way we work, beautiful
in the way we love in our relationships, beautiful in the way we swiftly
execute tasks on the job & ‘Effortlessly Beautiful’ in the way we execute the
Marriage of being a working woman with being a home maker. To celebrate our womanhood, I put together three looks

I have a huge fascination for denims & this crazy obsession of mine leads me to shop from various places with off beat styles. Even though yes, style does matter but it's the FIT that actually makes all the difference for me. One such brand I came across rather recently was ESTROLO. Honestly, even though I ordered these pair of denims online, the sizing & fit was fabulous!

The pretty flowy top made an appearance from my closet almost 3 years after it was purchased from Zara, haha! The belt from H&M was the fun element I added to match not the outfit but the pretty tree in the backdrop. Such a beautiful little space in my locality!

The website had a variety of denims in various styles along with leggings, jeggings & t-shirts. Since I had been on the hunt for a good, basic pair of asymmetrical bottom denims, I was finally happy to find one on the website which I bought, of course! These denims were super basic, so styling them was easy-peasy. For my makeup, I experimented with the Hyper Glossy Liquid Liners from Maybelline in the shades: Electro Shock & Lazer Green.Just be picky when it comes to the footwear. The bottom being asymmetrical, bulky shoes like sneakers, wedges, clogs, mules etc is something I personally prefer to avoid. Slimmer heels work best & I styled these denims with a pair of blue & green suede peep toe heels that I got customized from FERMAH SHOES a while ago.

Take a peek at what ESTROLO has to offer for many more awesome denim styles & enjoy the pictures in the meanwhile!
